Goat retains its "new" look for a long time and takes a lot of time and abuse to break in. That being said, it gets soft relatively quickly. YMMV.

It seems "colder" than other hides also. Less wind resistance or something. Less insulating.

I have two Gibson & Barnes jackets in goatskin. It will get less stiff over time. I actually prefer my goatskin jackets to my cowhide jackets. They're a little lighter, but seem to stand up to abuse better. And if you get caught out in the rain, it doesn't stiffen up. They wear like iron.

I went to their factory/showroom this last summer while I was down in San Diego. You should have seen the jackets. Great people to deal with. I had my jacket shipped. I received it a week later. They called twice to see if I had any concerns. They're a top notch outfit.

a-2 civil jacket

wow great i am getting my a-2 civil from gibson barnes in a couple of weeks....as of now they have no invertory.......

You'll like it for sure. The only reason I got the raider in addition to the A-2, was I really liked the inside storm flap. It has the welt pockets like the Civil A-2 and zipper top pockets. The back is gusseted like a Navy G-1. It really is a great jacket. Well, both of them are really great jackets
